Product Description
The GEM312 is a low-cost, single-chip enclosure
management controller for servers and mass storage
subsystems. It supports the Ultra2 (LVD) specification and
provides a rich set of features and functions for monitoring
and managing enclosures. The GEM312 supports the SCSI
SAF-TE specification.
The GEM312 features support for 12 drive slots,
6 power supplies, 6 fans, and 4 digital temperature sensors.
An I2C serial interface and two general purpose output bits
provide additional interface flexibility.
Operating configuration is vendor programmable,
allowing the use of a single GEM312-based enclosure in a
variety of system configurations.
The GEM312 block diagram is illustrated in figure 1.

Interfaces
Packaging
The GEM312 interfaces include the enclosure status
inputs, enclosure control outputs, CPU interface, and I2C
bus. Pins that support these interfaces and other chip
operations are shown in figure 2.
The GEM312 is available in a 144-pin thin plastic quad
flat pack (TPQFP).
